aefibird Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Right, I've had a pants day, so I'm starting a thread for anyone who wants to moan, gripe, rant or generally complain about the little things that get you down. It'll not make them go away but at least you might feel better for getting it off your chest! Oh and if anyone can tell me how to stop my finger bleeding after I speared it with a screwdriver whilst putting a bookcase together, I'd be most grateful. *curses Argos and flat-pack furniture* My complaints for today (in no particular order) are: *microwave ovens that heat up packaging and plates to such a degree that you end up dropping the plate onto the floor when you pick up the cooked items. *torrential rain and gale-force winds, along with the thunderstorms that cut off my electricity yesterday. It's July for heaven's sake!! lol *badly designed flatpack furniture (yes Argos, I do mean your goods) and my final moan of today... *banks that send you a letter asking you to phone them and the proceed to put you on hold for half an hour (at your own cost!) whilst they try and figure out why they sent you the letter in the first place. So, anyone wanna gripe along with me about your grumbles for the day?? "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!

Drunken Monkey Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 how about banks that send you a letter to tell you that you don't have enough funds to pay for a £30 phone bill, then tell you that you have been charged £30 for the processing.... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

sAtelitte Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Just got home from work (just a vacation job), normaly i would have finished working at 14:00 which left me plenty of time to get ready for my MA training and i was looking forward to it cause i missed the last 3 trainings because of the work. At 14:00 my boss suddenly tells me that there is a whole stage for a band that needs to be set up, but it would only take one hour . Well 3 hours later the stage is set. As a result there was no way to get my bus in time to get at the training . To make things even worse, the little comfort of being payed 3 extra hours at 150% soon dissappeared as well, just 3 hours at 100% https://www.shaolin.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotten Head Fok Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Standing in front of a store,waiting for it to open and other people walk past you try to pull the door open and then look at you and say" It's locked". You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muaythaifreak Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 how about tele-marketer calls that begin with, "this is a very important call, but all our operators are busy right now...". I mean really, if it's so (*&*^% ()*^*&^ important, why do you call me with a recorded message???!!!! Pain is temporary, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars!-=pain is weakness leaving the body=-If there's lead in the air, there is hope in the heart!

aefibird Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 In Britain pants means underwear. We call our long legged lower half garments 'trousers'. As for us being shorts people - nope, there's usually only one or two warm days in Britain, so wearing shorts a lot is a definate no-no. At the moment, it's supposed to be summer here and it's windy, cold and looking as though it is going to rain at any moment. Luckily Britain has charms to recommend it other than the weather... Pants is also a slang for something rubbish or bad - 'mint' means the opposite, in that it's something cool or good. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."
